All of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe arranged in chronological order

Marvel has done a great job taking comic book culture mainstream over the last couple of years, and the way these stories have been assembles has a lot to do with why that audience continues to grow. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is assembled into phases, where a larger story carries across multiple movies and completes with an Avengers movie. We know that Marvel’s Phase Two will be ending this year with Avengers: Age of Ultron, and we know that Marvel has all of Phase Three already mapped out, but what are you going to do with all of that time in the middle?

If you’ve got access to video editing tools and have a lot of time on your hands, there’s a guide to help you create a Phase One omnibus so you can watch everything in chronological order.

As we’ve explored in the past, watching some movies and television shows in chronological order can have an incredible effect on your overall perspective. Phase One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is all over the place chronologically, due mostly to a desire to establish origin stories for each of the heroes in The Avengers.

While you’re unlikely to have a life-altering experience by watching everything in Phase One chronologically, including episodes of Marvel’s Agents of Shield and the Marvel One Shot videos from the DVD bonus features, this experience is something that should be on every Marvel fan’s list.

The tutorial walks you through everything you need in order to assemble this Omnibus yourself, including editing timestamps for all of the files from all of the different source files, and comes together into over 12 hours of footage to watch in order. Hopefully it doesn’t take that same amount of time for you to assemble this footage on your own, but either way it’s probably worth it.
